GOTCH MEETS "TERRIBLE TURK" IN CANADA
t
An Example of How the Full
IN the season of 1905-6 Gotch had
some thrilling and at times humor
ous experiences in Canada, winning
the international wrestling tourna
ment at Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa
An incident he will never forget was
his encounter with a Turk grappler
by the name of Karakanoff.
This Turk had been hailed as about
the fiercest thing that ever happened
in the way of a wrestling demon. He
had defeated several strong men In
the tournament before Qotch appear
ed on the scene. Gotch had heard of
the dire things that would happen to
him when he faced this mountain of
grappling brawn from the Bosporus.
It was not the Gotch habit to back
away from danger, so he agreed to
meet the "Terrible Turk," to see
whether this wrestler were really half
human as alleged. There was a rumor
afloat that he would strangle Gotch.
On April 6, 1906, they had it out In
a packed pavilion at Sohmer's park,
Montreal.
The trouble for Karakanoff lasted
Just 14 minutes.
When Dr. Gadbols blew his little
whistle announcing the start' of hos
tilities the Turk advanced In menac
ing fashion as though he might belong
to the carnivorous species of the hu
man family. Gotch, however, was not
there to be eaten up. In Just about 16
seconds he discovered what the Turk
did not know about wrestling. Then
he dashed In, side-stepped a fierce as
sault and brought Karakanoff to the
'mat with a waist hold.
The Turk possessed one redeeming
quality great strength. He lacked
expert knowledge of wrestling, but
was powerful. He could lift a ton,
Gotch thought, but Gotch was not
there to be lifted.
After Karakanoff had struggled In
vain to rise, he stretched out and
waited for something to happen.
Gotch decided to have some fun. He
toyed with his victim, not to dlsap-
MACK TO KEEP TEAM INTACT
Wise Old Leader of Philadelphia Will
Depend on His Veterans to Play
Better This Year.
Of all the American league man
agers, Connie Mack probably will be
the only one this season to line up
the same team that came through for
him last season.
The wise old Philadelphia leader
will stand pat with his veterans. Mack
Edward T. Collins,
last season had a great team and ex
pects to have this same team play
better ball this season.
It Is needless to say anything about
the playing ability of the Athletics'
infield. Everybody Is willing to con
cede that It Is the greatest la tt

point the big crowd too much. He
fastened on a hammerlock and brought
back the Turk's arm until the crowd
gasped, then relinquished the grip.
Then he placed a full nelson, bent the
big Turk almost double, but let him
escape. Other holds followed In rapid
succession. It was a splendid work
out for Gotch, but not for Karakanoff.
The Turk was looking around for a
nice spot on which to "flop." He had
had enough. Gotch, however, saved
him that humiliation, forcing his
shoulders to the mat with a reverse
body hold in 11 minutes.
The officials had trouble persuading
the "Terrible Turk" to come back.
He had been convinced. He was look
ing about for his clothes. His mana
ger finally shoved him back Into the
arena and he came up as though
walking to his doom. Gotch went In to
see how quickly he could defeat him
In the second bout, and slammed him
to the mat with a resounding thud.
Karakanoff was too frightened to
wrestle. He was looking for some
avenue of escape. Gotch sat up and
the Turk leaped to his feet
"I've had enough," he beckoned, as
he walked away.
Gotch caught him by a foot and
tried to drag him back. No, thanks;
no more for him. He was thoroughly
convinced.
Qotch sat down and smiled. He
beckoned the Turk to return, but Mr.
Turk did not pause In his flight He
was hunting his clothes. Gotch
could have the match, the money and
the honor, but Karakanoff wanted to
live In peace and quiet He wanted
his hands for future use. That was
the last Frank Gotch ever saw of Mr.
Karakanoff.
Is it any wonder there have been
few Terrible Turks since Gotch be
came champion? There Is only one
who deserves the name and he came
several years later. He is a Bulgar
ian and his name is Mahmout.

Edward T. Collins, second baseman,
was born In Millerton, N. Y., May 2,
1887. He entered Columbia university
in 1903, played short for the varsity
nine In 1904, and captained the team
in 1906. During the early part of the
season of 1906 he played with the Rut
land (Vt.) team and later was given
a trial with the Athletics under the
name of Sullivan. Collins returned to
Columbia In 1907, received his degree
and rejoined the Athletics under his
right name. He spent most of his
time on the bench that season, but in
1908 was given a regular Job at the
second station, which he hag held ever
since. Collins has hit over .300 for
the last four seasons. His batting av
erage for 1912 was .348 for 163
games.

WEST VIRGINIA DAM BREAKS
Inhabitants of Valley Scurried to the
Hills When WWarned of the
Approaching Flood.
Cumberland, Md. Huddled in rude
shacks and about blazing camp fires,
hundreds of flood refugees . watched
and waited in the West Virginia hills
while the northern branch of the Poto
mas river, a swollen icy flood, swept
through their homes In the towns that
dot the valley below.,
A wall of water, starting from tha
broken dam of the West Virginia Pulp
& Paper Company on Stony creek,
moved down to the Potomac, Inundated
the town of Schell, W. Va where the
two streams meet, and started a flood
wave laden with wreckage and ice
down the Potomac valley.
Warnings of the approaching flood
sent the residents of small towns along
the river scurrying to safety in the
hills, where, from safe vantage points,
they peered through the darkness in
an icy gale toward the swollen waters
below.
Telegraph and telephone communi
cation was cut off by the flood during
the day, . but was re-established at
night. Rumors of several men caught
in the flood waters at Shaw, W. Va.,
twenty miles from Schell, which could
not be confirmed, were the only re
ports of casualties attending the flood.

A special study of the women of the
Ibibios and other southern Nigerian
tribes has been made by Mrs. P.
Amaury Talbot, who, with her hus
band and sister, has Just completed
a 4,300-mile journey in West Africa.
Though many of the Invocations of
the people are addressed to the pow
ers of fertility and a large family Is
a native ideal, the birth of twine is
considered a disgrace. One of the
twins is regarded as a devil's child.
Outside the sphere of British Influ

birth. The husband forsakes the wife
and she must spend at least a year in
"Twin Town," Isolated with other
women in like caee, and take part in
purifying rites. If he please the hus
band may then rejoin her.
